#104 EC and...toothbrushing?

About this episode

This episode discusses the comparison between potty learning and toothbrushing, advocating for treating both as normal daily habits.

Why do we treat potty learning like a huge event, but toothbrushing like no big deal? We don't bribe for brushing, we don't panic over missed spots. We just… keep doing it. In this episode I'm sharing why EC (and potty training) works better when we treat it like a normal daily habit — not a high-stakes milestone.
